Offering Roller Conveyor Systems

Roller conveyor systems are one of the most common types of conveyors due to their multi-use as either powered or gravity rollers. Andrews Automation offer a complete range of roller conveyors, providing a comprehensive service from design, right through to installation and after sales support.

Gravity roller conveyor systems are generally used to transport pallets, trays, cardboard boxes, tote bins and plastic handling baskets. They work using the force of gravity to transport the products, these can be simple to use and effective on smaller systems. They can either be used to free-wheel products or can include a slight decline to allow products to roll naturally over the distance.

Powered roller conveyors using the Q89 powered rollers offer excellent return on investment and cost benefits due to their exclusive design and integration capabilities. This type of roller conveyor system allows products up to 2000kgs to be automatically handled reducing the need for labour to manually handle the products, as would be needed on gravity roller conveyor systems.

All our Q89 pallet handling equipment is easy to install and run, and offers excellent ROI cost benefits from the outset along with the following points ;

See what our clients say ...

Andrews Automation was asked about transporting loaded pallets up an incline to a separate part of a wood production facility. The client had reservations about the safety of an inclined system with the loads being of significant weight. Our solution was to supply a foot operated scissor lift to initially raise the pallet to the height of the target area, and then transport the load horizontally via a standard roller conveyor.

National Wood Producers

A client approached us and enquired for a powered conveyor solution, but had concerns about grip and slippage on standard steel roller conveyors. Andrews Automation supplied heavy duty rubber covered rollers to maximise the transportation grip. This created a much more reliable and safe solution, in addition to one very happy customer.

Packaging Company

Andrews Automation Ltd have recently completed the installation of seven robot palletising cells that are required to palletise tote bins at a rate of 900 totes per hour. Our design team set to work on designing a gripper head that would handle multiple totes in order to reach the required throughput. Our designers came up with a double-sided gripper head solution that collects totes in threes on one side of the gripper, and in fours on the opposite side. This allowed for the collection of multiple totes, plus it enabled us to create the required stacking pattern to maximise the pallet space and create a stable load.
What about the facility to automatically collect an empty pallet? Andrews Automation Ltd incorporated a ‘pallet grab’ facility to the side of the gripper head.
